Hi,

Does anyone know what to do when this situation arises? I've been getting the real players but with ridiculous foreign fake names. I've not got the fake players option ticked. I've deleted caches and preferences folder then reverified but still same again.

Thanks

Fake players are often a by-product of a pirated game...

I can assure you it's not a pirated game. I purchased this game on the day it came out and it has only just happened at weekend

Hmmm, that's a bit strange then.

Can I have a screenshot of the issue? And also perhaps a screenie of your C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2015\data\db\1530\lnc folder?
